Chapter 173: Moonlit Night
On the clear dark blue sky, a golden crescent moon hangs high in the sky, illuminating the swinging courtyard, at this time, it has passed the third watch, according to the work and rest of the ancient people, they are basically asleep. However, Lin Yu had rare insomnia, she lay on the bed for a while, but she still felt no sleep, so she got up and went down to the courtyard for a walk.
Although the weather is still very hot, the fresh air that comes with the cool breeze at night is still a little cool. Lin Yu was not prepared and sneezed a small sneeze, which was still very loud in the silent night.
"Girl Lin, why did you run out?" A muffled voice came from the rooftop.
Lin Yu looked up and saw that it was Nangong Liu, who was sitting on the roof at the moment, with two small pots of wine and two packs of things beside him, and it was a small dish such as peanuts and rice.
"Senior, you didn't sleep either?" Lin Yu greeted him.
"I'm used to it, do you have something on your mind?" Nangong Liu said with a smile, "Why don't you come up and drink two cups, wouldn't it be nice to tell some stories about the past on such a good day and beautiful moon." ”
"How can I solve my worries, only Du Kang, but-", Lin Yu visually measured the height of the third floor, a little difficult, "This proposal is good, I can't go up." ”
"Wait, I'll take you up." Nangong Liu smiled and jumped off the roof, without any movement, as light as a cat.
"Seniors are so light." Lin Yu couldn't help but praise.
"Xiaobai, that kid's light skills are better, our Nangong family's light skills are actually just ordinary."
Nangong Liu smiled and grabbed Lin Yu's hand, Lin Yu only felt that his body was light, and he was on the roof in a blink of an eye. However, it is obviously not easy to take people, and even a martial arts master like Nangong Liu took a big breath for a minute after taking Lin Yu to the roof.
"Are you tired?" Lin Yu looked at Nangong Liu panting, poured a sip of wine, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
"It's not that tired, it's just that I'm older, not as old as before." Nangong Liu didn't care either, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve. "Tell me what's going on? We've been together for a long time, and you don't seem to have had insomnia.
Lin Yu's mood was really chaotic, which made her not like before, but wanted someone to talk to. Nangong Liu is older than her father, and her personality is a little like her father, which makes her emotionally involuntarily relatively close to Nangong Liu, and it is easier to let go of her defense.
"Today, Xiaobai and I went to visit the Ruan family and met the young lady of the Ruan family." Lin Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "" It was a very beautiful girl, as beautiful as a fairy. She and Xiaobai once faced the pursuit of a martial arts demon together, and the girl seemed to admire him very much. ”
"Are you feeling sick?" Nangong Liu asked, he had long looked at this pair of gentle little lovers and couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know what to do, probably #." Lin Yu recalled himself at that moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "When they talk about their past, I feel uncomfortable, I feel as if I am the one who has been excluded." And that girl is really beautiful, and her personality is also gentle, and I began to feel uneasy in my heart when I was deeply in love. ”
Lin Yu said while drinking sullenly, his expression was indescribably complicated.
"Then why do you reject Xiaobai?" Nangong Liu suddenly asked.
"How do you know the way?" Lin Yu was shocked, and then a little embarrassed.
"You are stupid to me, two people are happy to go out, but when they come back, they make such a fuss, one bows his head, one is depressed, one does not come out in the house, and the other is drunk. What Nangong Liu said was actually a lie, he knew the inside story because he was the drinking friend who drank sullenly in the afternoon.
"Let's talk about it, obviously looking at you not without a little friendship for him, why do you reject him? His appearance and family background are all bad, whether he is a good person, his martial arts are also high, and he also has literary talents, what are you not satisfied with? ”
Lin Yu sighed deeply, "Probably his conditions are too good, I have doubts in my heart?" ”
"Did you know that my wife is actually just the daughter of a tavern owner who sells wine?" Nangong Liu didn't say anything, but told her love story. "At most, it's beautiful, the female workers and housekeepers are very ordinary, they just love to laugh, don't look at me as a bad old man now, I was very suave back then, and the first beauty in martial arts chased after my ass."
"That, doesn't it mean that you have unsuccessfully pursued the first beauty in martial arts? You said it yourself. Lin Yu couldn't help but point out the bug in his words.
"This is an exaggeration, well, I mean, when we looked at the gap, everyone said that they were not a good match, saying that I would divorce her soon after marriage, and if I didn't, she would marry a child. As a result, we have been loving for 20 years, and we have a baby son. Nangong Liu said with a smile, probably it has been a long time since his deceased wife passed away, and when he mentioned this matter, he didn't feel much sadness, but a little happy and proud.
"Did the seniors say?" Lin Yu took a sip of wine and asked.
"I just want to say that the gap seems to be very big, but it may be very small when it is actually touched." Nangong Liu paused and said, "However, I don't think you should be backing down because of such a thing." Let's talk about it, although I am not a person with great wisdom, after all, I have seen a lot and have some opinions of my own. ”
Lin Yu thought about it, his little thing is not a secret thing, every time there is a storm in the city, as long as he inquires, it is impossible not to know the way, so he nodded and said slowly.
"I was the cousin of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, originally said that he would be a concubine, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan put wine in the house before returning to Beijing from the southwest, and the posts were all down, but he didn't officially get married, but when the Marquis of Zhenyuan returned to Beijing, he wanted to give up all his wives and concubines and marry Miss Zhang. I naturally became a concubine in name only, and later did a little business, and my life gradually improved, but I had a common experience of suffering with today's Seven Princes. ”
"He's in love with you?" Lin Yu said vaguely, how could Nangong Liu not guess.
Lin Yu nodded, "But what is my identity?" An orphan girl, her net worth is not even innocent, it would be good to be able to enter the royal door, and she still wants to be the main room? I've had enough of the suffering of the concubine, and I don't want to, but I'm not untouched by his deep affection, not to mention that he's still willing-" Lin Yu almost slipped his mouth, and only halfway through the words did he remember that the prince's elopement was not to talk about secrets. "Anyway, I'm a little sorry for him."
"Your experience is bizarre." Nangong Liu touched his chin and asked. "I only want to ask you one thing, do you have a little white in your heart, look at your heart, tell me."
The bright moonlight sprinkled down, Lin Yu's whole person seemed to be covered with a layer of silver veil, she was silent for a while, and sighed softly.
"Yes."
After saying this word, my heart was much more relaxed, and someone confided in me and was in a much better mood. Lin Yu was about to continue talking, when a clangling sound came from the courtyard, as if it was the sound of being knocked down.
